DRIVERS' STORY * USA - This job stinks

Sanitation employees do the dirty work so we don’t have to... and ... “It all smells like money to me”

Kalispell,MT,USA -The Daily Inter Lake, by CANDACE CHASE -Sep 02, 2007: -- It’s 5 a.m. in the Flathead. As most of us snooze in our warm beds, Tom Gordon and his crew at North Valley Refuse hit the streets to remove our trash... Even on Labor Day, Larry Bellmore and some of his crew put in a 10-hour shift pushing, piling and compacting our garbage into a growing mountain at Flathead County Solid Waste... Bellmore laughs when he remembers friends telling him they would never take a job operating equipment at the landfill. Since then, he said every one of them has asked him about getting on the crew... It’s a familiar theme from these men who appreciate the security and good living they earn for helping the rest of us enjoy clean and sanitary lives. Still, they admit their work stinks... “It all smells like money to me,” Bellmore said with a laugh...

On Wednesday, Sakaske shoveled out the last bits of debris from his truck at the Flathead County Landfill. “Business is always picking up,” he said. He represents one of an army of people laboring to keep life tidy in the Flathead)
